Serving All of Illinois

An individual who has been convicted of a firearms offense is deportable and subject to removal from the United States. Deportability for a “firearms offense” encompasses but is not limited to selling, exchanging, using, possessing, or purchasing a firearm or destructive device in violation of state or federal law. An individual is deportable for a firearms violation regardless of when the offense occurred or the conviction was entered.

Additionally, a state firearms offense may be considered an aggravated felony if it is described by a federal law counterpart. Some examples of offenses that may potentially be viewed as aggravated felonies include:

Possession of a firearm by a convicted felon.

Possession of a firearm by a fugitive from justice.

Possession of a firearm by unlawful user of controlled substances or an addict.

Possession of a firearm by an illegal alien or an alien in nonimmigrant status.

Use of a firearm in the commission of a felony.
